Explain to me why when I use satire (Keyes implies Bush worse than Hitler) which even includes poking fun at my side (Keyes decoder rings, Keyes breakfast drinks, etc.)you say I am simply baiting people, but when your friend BibChr uses satire portraying Keyes as petty and meanspirited attacking Bush for declaring that Jesus Christ is Lord, he is merely being funny.

Why is it that you and others can come onto Keyes threads and bash him but if I get a little sarcastic in responding I am the bad guy?

Why do you and others repeatedly bring up the fact that Keyes and Kristol were roomates in college but when I finally challenge the relevance of that by reminding you that other politicians (without naming them) did some worse things while they were in college, you say that I'm trying to start a feud?

Are you and your friends above criticism?

Absolutely not.

I did not see Dan's post, so I can't address that. My comments were general and also that I have noticed your friendliness with a certain Freeper that is the Queen Mama of ugly and nasty.

As for the college roomies thing, it is just interesting and not exactly unusual for people to speculate. After all, this is the world of politics. No accusations were made that I know of; just musings.

Finally.......KFP you have every right to be mean, funny, sarcastic or whatever. Surely you realize that this topic always ends up in battle lines being drawn and the sides are pretty clearly delineated. Practically anything said has the potential to ignite a flame. If I were you, I wouldn't be very shocked at any reaction. I'm not. If I feared that or was too sensitive about it I would make a quick u-turn if I ran into a Keyes thread.

You should also choose your friends carefully. People do judge us by the company we keep. Two people can be on the same side without being close enough to kiss......if you get my drift.

...which, as Gelato reminded us above, Keyes pretty much did....

Dan (though fearing a hyperdetailed, almost pecksniffian response ["Well no, Bush didn't say the word 'Lord'..."], rather than candid acknowledgment of facts obvious to others)
